I've bought stuff from Hong Kong before and it normally takes 4-5 days to get here. Check H.M. Customs web site for import duties - you may find small value orders do not incur import duty?
Perhaps im better off ordering one of these instead , i wonder how it performs?

Anyone interested in my Virtually new copy of the
Pentax K10d Magic Lantern Guide? it is an excellent book and goes into alot more depth regarding the cameras functions and useage compared to the user manual that comes with the camera. Sensible offers considered!

FYI, the normal button and the cabled remote allow me to hold the button down and cycle through bracketed photos.
The IR remote requires that I click for each photo.

For extended bracketing (white balance, sharpness, contrast, etc...) I have to press the button each time regardless of how I take the photo (wired, internal or IR remote).

I have firmware 1.30.
Howabout "autoexposure bracketing?" i understand that if i use a cabled shutter release i can just keep the button held down and it will shoot all 5 shots in a row?

If you keep the button pressed on either remote it will take all the shots, but again not if you only press once.
Weird that they changed it in the firmware update though.
gwyn my first K10d has had to go back due to a fault and i have not had a chance to test the auto bracketing with a cabled remote can you please test this function and let me know if it definitely works as i have the offer of a full refund on the camera?? By the way i had the latest firmware installed.

Many thanks.

Pressing the button once worked with the original firmware, but if you upgraded to firmwdare 1.30, you need to keep the shutter button down for all the sequence to go thru, or release manually for every single shot of the sequence.
all becomes clear now!
pentaxian would you know if i purchased the wireless remote f or cabled remote and held the shutter release button down on those will the camera take all 3 or 5 shots in one go?

Thanks.

I assume it is the same as on the Ds - you have to keep the shutter pressed until all the frames are taken. Lift your finger off before that and it will stop taking the photos. Same if using a remote control.
HI Gwyn, thanks for the reply , according to the user manual i shoudlnt have to keep my finger held on the shutter button - the push is all that should be reqd?
